This is the main repository for the RTAC simulation framwork.
The RTAC simulator is an efficient sonar simulator which aims to be used inside AUV.
It is base on the CUDA framework, the OptiX ray tracing library and OpenGL.
This is a regular cmake package. Its dependencies are rtac_base, rtac_display, and rtac_optix.
You should persistently add this variable to your environment :
echo "export RTAC_CONFIG_PATH=<library_install_location>/share/rtac_simulation/examples" >> $HOME/.bashrc
This will give you access to some example configuration files. You may populate the RTAC_CONFIG_PATH variable with your own configuration paths (; separated directory list).
Documentation is sparse. The ray_caster03 example should run right away and may be the base for your own developments.
